MBA programmes offered by India’s top Engineering colleges

India has over 5,500 B-schools but only a limited number of them is able to offer quality education and produce excellent candidates. Apart from the IIMs and about 30 non-IIMs, none of the MBA schools have been able to match requirements of the rapidly changing job market. According to a report by ASSOCHAM Education Committee (AEC) released in 2016, only 7 per cent of the pass-outs are actually employable in India except graduates from IIMs.

The IIMs have ruled the management education in India for a long time now. The top three IIM campuses IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta have not only been reigning over the rest in India but have also found themselves at respectable positions in world rankings over the years.

Like 2017, Out of 50, IIMs have occupied 13 positions,in the top 50 best B-schools in India list by National Institute of Ranking Framework of Ministry of Human Resource Development (NIRF-MHRD). Among, IITs, IIM Bombay is ranked number 5, above IIM Kozhikode, MDI, Gurgaon and XLRI, Jamshedpur. Rest are non-IIMs. Seven engineering colleges are in top 50 with four IITs in top 10.

These engineering institutes find place in the list owing to their departments of management studies which provides training and placements opportunities at par with popular management institutes.

IIT Bombay (ranked 5th), IIT Kharagpur (ranked 7th), IIT Delhi (ranked 8th) and IIT Roorkee (ranked 9th) are the new entrants in the NIRF-MHRD 2018 ranking list. Other new entrants (institutes popular for engineering) are Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (30) and PSG College of Technology (33).

On the other hand, Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Adhiyamaan College of Engineering, BN College of Engineering & Technology and RVS Technical Campus, Coimbatore failed to make it to the list this year.

Is it a good idea to do an MBA from an engineering college?

This is the most common question that comes to the aspirant’s mind while looking for an MBA college. The answer is yes. Although, there’s no better place than a B-school to earn a management degree from; these colleges hold their own in terms of the best of infrastructure, faculty and curriculum. Secondly, it is relatively easier to get through these colleges as the competition is less compared to top management institutes. Thirdly, these colleges are best suited for engineering graduates as most of these colleges prefer candidates with engineering degree for MBA programmes.

Most importantly, seat intake number in MBA in engineering colleges is far lesser than in a B-school which puts the candidate in a better position viz opportunities of learning and network building. Also, engineers who have graduated from these colleges may get an upper hand in seeking admission to MBA in the same school due to familiarity.
